Suffragette Gladice Keevil Manchester: A Pioneering Figure in the Fight for Women's Suffrage in Manchester, 1907 This evocative photograph captures the determination and resilience of Gladice Keevil (1884-1959), a prominent organiser for the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) during the Manchester by-election of 1907. Keevil's unwavering commitment to the suffrage cause is palpable as she holds aloft a banner bearing the defiant slogan 'Keep the Liberal Out.' Gladice Keevil was a key figure in the suffragette movement in Manchester, working tirelessly to secure the right to vote for women. The Manchester by-election of 1907 presented an opportunity for the WSPU to make a significant impact, and Keevil was at the forefront of the campaign to prevent the Liberal Party candidate from being elected. The suffragette movement, which advocated for women's suffrage through militant tactics, had gained momentum in the early 20th century. Keevil and her fellow suffragettes believed that the Liberal Party, which was traditionally supportive of women's rights, had failed to deliver on their promises. By campaigning against the Liberal candidate, they hoped to send a clear message that drastic action was necessary to secure the vote for women. Despite facing opposition and even violence from those who opposed their cause, Keevil and her fellow suffragettes remained committed to their goal. This photograph is a testament to their unwavering determination and the significant role they played in the fight for women's suffrage in the UK. The Manchester by-election of 1907 ultimately resulted in a victory for the Liberal Party, but the suffragettes' efforts did not go unnoticed. The campaign helped to raise awareness of the suffrage cause and galvanized support for the movement, leading to significant progress towards women's suffrage in the years that followed.
